Crushing It

Crushing It Synopsis

THE BESTSELLING AND HILARIOUSLY FUNNY SERIES FOR KIDS, TOLD ENTIRELY IN THE FORM OF A GROUP CHAT, FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AND COMEDY WRITER, EMILY-JANE CLARK.

Kennedy, Liv and Devon are determined to have a cringe-free Year 8. After all, they are older, wiser and far less embarrassing now . . . right? WRONG. Kennedy's enemy-turned-friend, Graham, has asked her out on a date, but she definitely does NOT want to go out with him (she thinks). Far better to get into an epic game of dares instead!

Meanwhile, an anonymous texter is spreading secrets around school, Liv and Devon are suffering crush drama of their own and Kennedy's new ultra-strict form tutor has NOT taken a liking to her. What could possibly go wrong!?
